I lost all confidence on this government. I blame the federal government for all this mess

The information is "confusing" for those of limited mental capacity.

American dollars would be best spent on new hospitals, doctors nurses and equipment.

So this dude has all of the answers and advice but admits everything he’s doing is useless. He might want to clean up the messaging.

Quinton should get vaccinated if he is so afraid.

This mayor is an idiot he is out talking about the shooting and saying it's racial. Why is he making any comments? Shouldn't his comment be, I think we as citizens need to let this investigation go where it may. And then subsequently let a courtroom and jury decide facts. Me as a mayor making public statements about why and how would be very unprofessional of me. In no way I would want to sway the jury either way. So at this time I will only say it's in the hands of law enforcement, the very professionals that we pay to do this investigation. AND LETS continue to pray for this young man's recovery. NOW DID THE MAYOR DO THAT? No, HE'S OUT ON A SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS WAS RACIAL AND HOW COULD THIS OLD MAN BE SCARED ENOUGH TO SHOOT THROUGH THE DOOR. AND THAT THIS OLD MAN LOOKED OUT AND SAW A BLACK PERSON AND THAT'S WHY HE DECIDED TO SHOOT. MAYOR WE SEE THAT YOU'RE AN IDIOT YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT TRYING TO TAINT A JURY I HOPE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE GET TOGETHER AND DONATE MONEY FOR THIS OLDER GUYS DEFENSE. YOU ARE TRULY A POS YOURSELF. OUT DISCUSSING AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND YOU'RE DOING IT WHILE YOU'RE GETTING PAID BY THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE WHILE YOU STAND ON YOUR SOAPBOX. TYPICAL DEMOCRAT, to be paid by the citizens and to be out there saying what this shooting is or isn't before the investigation is over just goes to show you how uneducated you are.

Although these viruses are new; they should likely be "preparing for the next variation"! Order more supplies now, etc

Quinton Lucas is one sharp political operative. And I'm ashamed to admit it, but Mayor Lucas has no future in Missouri politics with the racist rural areas dead set against him.

This gentleman is exactly correct. It's very scary when the little ones contract COVID. My granddaughter is my biggest concern.
